Neither of us really enjoyed the drop spindle, the word "drop" being the operative word here. We both have wheels and I will say that I recently got a small drop spindle and it was a heck of alot easier to use now that I have been spinning on the wheel for years. <BR/><BR/>Welcome to the dark side Jason!

It is excellent that you listened to the fabric and practiced until it pleased you. <BR/><BR/>Button bands on cardigans can be even more exacting than a shawl. And, the rub of it is, if you try to make do you end up ripping the whole thing later. Trust your instincts!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see your handspun.
